Still haven't named week old daughter

[JoVH]

Hi

My baby girl is over a week old and we still haven't settled on a name for her. We thought we would name her Violet, but we're not sure she looks like one, and various family members have told us how horrible the name is!

So our current shortlist is
Anna
Violet
Catherine (Kitty)
April
Thea

Any thoughts/opinions /suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Violet or Anna.

Anna is my favourite. Kitty isn't an obvious diminutive of Catherine, but Catherine is a lovely (and not often used these days) name.

Catherine/Kitty for me. It’s my favourite girl’s name. She can chose Kate or Kat when she gets older too.

Congratulations OP! I haven't named my 10-day-old son, either.

Please don't listen to family, I'm biased but Violet is gorgeous. So are the other names but make sure you go with what YOU love

In order, I like:
Thea
Violet
Catherine (Kitty)
Anna.

I don't really like April at all, sorry.

Have you thought about Viola, rather than Violet?

I like Thea, Catherine (but not Kitty if she isn't a kitten), and Anna.

Not at all keen on calling a child the name of a month. REally don't like Violet - not least for the ease it turns into 'vile' for anyone who wants to be nasty to her

Thea or Anna

Love Anna but they're all nice.

Anna is my favourite, or Catherine/Kitty.

Violet would be a lovely middle name for either of those.

Anna or Catherine for me. Don't like Violet at all.

Anna or Catherine.
Violet is nice but will be pronounced Vile-et and it's only one letter away from Violent.
April? It's October.
Thea. I don't like it.

Anna or Catherine in it's entirety (don't like Kitty).

My Son introduced me, to a very lovely Viola, recently.
I love Catherine, and Anna.

I love Anna, Violet and Catherine, but I don't like Kitty at all.

So that leaves Anna and Violet. Violet is having a resurgence in popularity and might become "dated" in the future because of it, so I would pick Anna. Anna is enduring, timeless, classic and not overly popular.

Kitty! Such a beautiful name, and not too common. Congratulations

Anna is a beautiful name. I also like Catherine.

Anna Catherine

Thea Kitty.

Beautiful names op.

OP,

Congratulations on the birth of your daughter, too, btw!

I wouldn't use Catherine as it can be spelt so many different ways, she will spend her whole life having to spell it. My fave is Anna.

Anna or Katharine (I prefer this spelling especially with a K nn)

Thea is gorgeous so that would be my choice. Then Anna.

Congratulations

Have you decided OP ?

Catherine with a K seriously though either spelling it's a really underused name now which is a shame because it's beautiful. Go for it!

Catherine or Anna. Congratulations!

Kitty!
